About my Monte Carlo

my first minor resto mod, not too hard. this is the first car i painted, 3 differnt engines in it total. first was original, second was a warmed over 305 that turned 15's in the quarter, and currently a 350- 40over. tranny is the stock 200r4 w/a 2500 converter, the rear was factory 3:73 now 4:11's. soon to be done is boxed rear control arms, twin turbo setup and switching to a 700r4 or t-5 5spd so if u have any suggestions please let me know.

Very nice.  Twin turbos are gonna be quite an undertaking.  Personally I would keep the 200R4 and beef it up.  Century transmission builds a very nice 200R4 rated for up to 500 RWHP.

Great looking car. It looks like you done a lot of work on it and it shows with the performance of it. I know it's not easy to make these mid 80's cars move very fast. GM dropped the ball on the performance level when they built those cars back in the day. Before you know it, the Montes, Cutlass, Regals will be the next generation to "Hot Rodding".
